Songs Paused in the TreeSince the elderly king greatly loved music, his court esteemed it, too;
As sun and moon smile on myriad colors, during the butterfly revue.
The king was well loved and jolly, with the queen, always by his side.
He ruled with caring. Like rainbow hued peaks, where indifference died.
His glorious reign had been lengthy, and the vast kingdom...

Jealousy of My PainI say it this way because I'm just trying to be happy
I don't wear a sad face because my life is crappy
Haven't you heard it said to turn your pain into power
Think about every rough seed turned into a flower
When you look at me you think I have the best life
You would never see...

The Moon's Purpose
As the pale, pacific moon hung low, silent and still, waiting for
this day's receipts.
When echoes of day's purchases will be absorbed either in the heavenly or
hellish holes of the waning moon.
Weary with wars, the deceit of greed, where hate is heralded more, the
selfish, superior ones, their darkness dimming their light,...

Equi-distantHappiness and sadness are equi-distant from each other
It's the speed that makes all the difference
From point to point
A distance travelled in our minds but takes hold of the body
Like a pendulum swinging from end to end
Our souls dim and perspectives flicker
A proud eagle becomes solitary
A vast vibrant field becomes lonely
Words are given innuendoes belonging to...

Shooting Stars Are Exactly As You AreBehind every person’s soul,
a universe quietly resides.
And I still find it strange
that despite that cosmic brilliance,
we circle back to fixate
on surface-level, fleeting things.
Things that could never touch
the depth of our own true radiance.
We never notice our own
beauty—isn’t that beautiful?

Take Me HomeTake Me Home
to the cages of ur arms
trap our happiness inside me until my lungs
can no longer fill with my own hatred
Find my hands
And remind me
What a true home can feel like
Take me home...

Why The Grey Sky GrewWhy the grey sky grew
Could it be because of you?
Or because my heart's feeling blue
The sun only shines when I'm with you
When we're far apart
The world grows dark
It thunders and rains
Blowing wind that chills my veins
Occasionally striking the garden we grew
A garden of love built by me and you
The anger of fire will destroy the...

Playing Grown UpChildren love to play Grown Up
And choose bright, pretty dresses
They slap and dab loads of makeup
And strut like Greek empresses
They gab and gossip and chitter
As they parent their dolls
And sprinkle loads of cool glitter
As dolls walk down the halls
And as they copy our weird ways
We smile and nod with bliss
Their bumbling trips light up our...

Get this show on the roadLet’s get this show on the road,
The car's still empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.
I want to get to the airport, I want to be
clambering into an Impressionist painting of the sea
Ride the chestnut ponies, get back to something real,
My...

In the Mouth of Desirein the mouth of desire, inverted spires
lean toward the grots of Hell.
tongues forked, skewered with sapphires
in the mouth of desire, inverted spires.
Adam's apple burning cores, as moths for martyrdom's fires.
on the path to perdition: many had attended well.
in the mouth of desire, manipulation stirs.
the crone fanning her cauldron
a hot vat of ruin, Wiccan...
